DALLAS — Dallas made Zagat's "2009 Top U.S. Hotels, Resorts & Spas Survey" thanks to the Ritz-Carlton, which was chosen as "Top Large Hotel".
The 2009 guide covers 1,001 hotels, resorts and spas nationwide based on input from 14,049 frequent travelers and travel professionals, such as meeting planners and travel agents. 76% of surveyors report booking their travel online. More specifically: 82% book airline tickets, 74% book room reservations, and 65% book car rentals. Only 33% of surveyors book restaurant reservations online.
Winners: And the winners are: New York City (surveyors' favorite destination); Expedia and TripAdvisor (best websites); Homewood Suites, Embassy Suites and DoubleTree (best value chains); and Disney's Fort Wilderness in Orlando and Timberline Lodge in Oregon (best value for large and small lodgings respectively).
